1. No more champagne, and the fireworks are through,
CGAmD
here we are, me and you feeling lost and feeling blue.
GCmGB7
It's the end of the party, and the morning seems so grey
CGAmD - D7
so unlike yesterday, now's the time for us to say :
GB7
Happy New Year, Happy New Year,
- EmCE
may we all have a vision now and then,
E7EAm - D
of a world where every neighbour is a friend.
GB7
Happy New Year, Happy New Year,
- EmCE
may we all have our hopes, our will to try,
E7EAm - D
if we don't, we might as well lay down and die,
Am - D
you and I .
GAmGB7
2. Sometimes I see how the brave new world arrives,
CGAmD
and I see how it thrives in the ashes of our lives.
GCmGB7
Oh yes, man is a fool and he thinks he'll be ok,
CGAmG
dragging on (ooh) feet of clay (ooh), never knowing he's astray,
Am - CD - D7
keeps on going anyway.
GB7
Happy New Year, Happy New Year,
- EmCE
may we all have a vision now and then,
E7EAm - D
of a world where every neighbour is a friend.
GB7
Happy New Year, Happy New Year,
- EmCE
may we all have our hopes, our will to try,
E7EAm - D
if we don't, we might as well lay down and die,
Am - DG - D - C - DG - D - C - D
you and I .

3. Seems to me now that the dreams we had before
CGAmD
are all dead, nothing more than confetti on the floor.
GAmGB7
It's the end of a decade, in another ten years time
CG
who can say (ooh) what we'll find (ooh),
AmG
what lies waiting down the line,
Am - CD - D7
in the end of Eighty-nine?
